Pete's sire is NAFC/FC/AFC Walker's Gunner who was the 1997 National Amateur All Age Champion who has sired dogs such as NGDC/FC Last Dixie Chick. Pete's dam is AFC Bullet's Renegade Miss Megan - our foundation female who is a strong hunter and qualified for the 2007 and 2008 National Amateur Gun Dog Championships. Megan's sire is 32x NSTRA Champion Nolan's Last Bullet who has more NSTRA wins than any dog of any breed in the history of NSTRA.

Pete is a very hard hunting, extremely intelligent dog with a lots of style, intensity and enthusiasm on birds. Pete, even as a young puppy, had a beautiful and natural forward hunting pattern which has only improved with age. He's extremely biddable and always aims to please his handler. He is a natural backer and retriever that runs a big shooting dog race. Pete runs edges eagerly with great determination and rarely misses a bird, which is testament of his scenting ability. Pete is not a dog that you have to constantly or forcefully command. He is extremely obedient and works the field with only slight blows of the whistle and he can be sent in any direction with a slight wave of the hand.

Pete is a pleasure to train and campaign as a field trial dog. At 19 months old (which is still classified as Derby age) in only his second run in adult Gun Dog Stakes he qualified for the 2006 National Amateur Gun Dog Championship at the spring Georgia Brittany Club Trial. We entered Pete in the National Championship that fall and at only 26 months of age he was posted at the National Championship and ended the trial in the top 6 dogs.

As a 3 year old we returned to Ionia, Michigan for the 2007 Amateur and Open Gun Dog Championships for which he was qualified and again Pete was posted and finished in the top 10 dogs. In the Amateur Championship he had more bird finds than any dog in the stake. Pete was never scouted in either 2007 National Championship and constantly maintained a nice forward race. In the Open Championship he was a little under the weather and had a badly scratched and swollen eye yet he finished the hour brace with a strong run. In 2008 Pete delivered his best performance of his 3 trips to the Nationals but was unrewarded in the Open, he was lost for the first time in his field trial career for 6 minutes but he ran a powerful race the strongest in the stake. In the amateur he had the misfortune of carding 2 non-productives which essentiallly sealed his fate. Pete's run of bad luck didn't change at the 2009 AKC Pointing Breed National Gun Dog Championship he was disqualified on a rabbit find at 58 minutes - he was laying down the top performance of the championship up to that point. One of the judges commented "you were this close indicating an inch on his finger".

Pete finished his Field Championship title with his first place Open Gun Dog run on 3/22/2008 at the Mid-Florida Brittany Club trial and completed his Amateur Field Championship title with his first place Amateur Gun Dog run on 10/05/2008 at the Middle Georgia English Setter Club trial.

Pete is what we believe a bird dog should be: forward, biddable, excellent nose, natural retriever, natural backer with plenty of run. Pete is also every bit as good as a pet: affectionate, level headed and loyal with enough personality to bring a smile to everyone he greets. He is the mascot of Carter Veterinary Clinic and goes to work every day. In the field, at home, or at work, Pete is a superior quality dog.
